Shared passions: School board hopefuls all love Chico, children

CHICO — They all love kids, they all love Chico, they all think the school board is doing an excellent job, and they all want to be elected to that board to make things better.

That is the short version of what the four candidates for the Chico Unified School District board of trustees said during a 70-minute forum conducted Monday night by the Butte County Chapter of the League of Women Voters.

The four, Erik Lyon, Linda Hovey, Gary Loustale, and Liz Griffin, the only incumbent in the race, fielded questions from a two person panel from the press, as well as questions from the floor.
